it's game time - View this location on map  'Few American universities have as much basketball in their DNA as Kansas. The game's inventor, Dr. James Naismith, became the school's first basketball coach in 1898. Since then, Jayhawk men's teams have won two N.C.A.A. tournaments (1952 and 1988)Tickets for games at Allen Fieldhouse (www.kuathletics.com; 800-344-2957) mostly go to season-ticket holders and students, though seats are sometimes available to the public. Check the Web site or call. Otherwise, Ace Sports and Tickets (647 Massachusetts Street; 785-856-5400) resells seats bought from season-ticket holders. Prices start around $30. You can get your Kansas jersey ($49.99) at Jayhawk Spirit (935 Massachusetts Street; 785-749-5194). Only two men's regular-season home games remain and no women's games, but the Big 12 Conference tournaments are in nearby Kansas City, Mo., the second week in March.''
